The Discover institute coined the phrase “Intelligent Design”, popularized it, and gave it a specific claim; namely that the “designer”, as a necessity, must intervene directly to overcome the limitations of the system ‘designed’ to change living systems which was somehow not very well designed in the first place, needing constant tinkering and such.
I am not disregarding those of us who believe that Our Lord started everything. I AM one of those who believes the same. This is not in any way “I.D.”, I would call it “U.D.” or ‘ultimate design’.
That's great to hear. Seriously.
But Catholics do say ID is what we believe in. Then we are looked down upon and this theory is thrown out of the schools.
I mean really, I'm homeschooling. I give my kids all sides. But if I want them to succeed as scientists one day (one wants to teach etymology, the other a zoologist AND Deal or No Deal Models LOL!) then they should not be shunned or censored because of what they believe. That's not America.
